Doesn't seem there's anything to prove, unless one is trying to prove there wasn't 120 in the Upper Room.
No evidence? Not a shred? 
Re the silly thing... gee whiz... first, I didn't call YOU silly personally, second, it's just words and my initial reaction to something that seems trite and trivial.

It's quite silly to suggest the "numbering of the 12" means suddenly the 120 disappeared.
Nothing deep and I would hope you wouldn't take it that. I'd actually be shocked if you were still upset from that post. Really?

Yes, I'm furious. Flaming. Fried. Shaked, baked, fried, and dried.
Nope, zero evidence. Just because there were 120 in one of the meetings, doesn't mean there were 120 on the meeting that took place on the Day of Pentecost. The two events were completely disconnected.
Acts 2 is a totally different thought and a completely different day than the previous chapter. The disciples numbered were about 120 to elect Matthias as the replacement disciple for Judas. And it's not just a coincidence that the number required to assemble a Jewish council is 120.
Bottom line is this...
I don't have a clue how many were present in the upper room on the Day of Pentecost. Neither do you. But at least I'll admit it.
